You've been a part of my life, so very long,
It's hard for me to believe sometimes,
That you're really gone,

I tuck your memory away,
In my special hiding place,
So no one can tell by the look on my face,



(bridge)


That you're still in my heart,
Always on my mind, a part of my every day,



(verse 2)

Well just last night, I went out for a bite,

Not tryin to have fun, with ya, on I might,

But even the laughter, it wasn't much of a break,
Cause right in the middle of my strawberry shake,



(bridge)
Bobbie Jo walked in, with a couple of friends,

And said, hey man have you seen her at all,
Like where she'd been, and it,



(chorus)
Struck a nerve and it, hit a vein,

You'd think from all the tears I cried,
This brokin hearted pain,
I wouldn't have to, carry you around with me,

But it seems like everywhere I go,
Somebody wants to know, where've you been,
Are you commin back again, I swear,

I can't take you anywhere,




(verse 3)
So I left alone, I just headed on home,

As I listen to the messages on my telephone,
There was one from my sister,
And one from an old friend,

(hey man I drove by your house tonight dude)
You wasn't in,



(bridge)
Just checkin up on you boy, I hope you're doin alright,

Oh by the way man I seen her last night, and it,




(chorus)
Struck a nerve and it, hit a vein,

You'd think from all the tears I cried,
This brokin hearted pain,
I wouldn't have to, carry you around with me,

But it seems like everywhere I go,
Somebody wants to know, where've you been,
Are you commin back again, I swear,

I can't take you anywhere,
Oh baby I swear,
I can't take you anywhere,

no,no,no,no,no,no, I can't take you anywhere baby,
